"What are you doing here?"

"I should be asking you the same thing." She said, looking at his clothes. They were very fancy, silk, lace and brocade. Such a shame that he got them dirty.

"Well, it's a long story…" He laughed and pulled his hand through his hair.

"So is mine. We have lots of time, and lots of catching up to do."

They hadn't seen each other since she had left Port Royal. Jonathan had been one of her older brother's best friends. A lot of what she knew she had learned from him. In fact, 'Rule number one' was something he had taught her.

Apparently he had gotten a job on a merchant ship a little while after she had left. The ship was taken over by pirates, the captain of which had decided to let him live. He stayed on the ship, and eventually was able to work his way up to first mate.

He said that the ship, the Rosaria, was captained by someone named Samuel Barnett.

She told him her story, and like Jack, he was quite amazed. She had changed and yet she was still the same.

He couldn't remember her getting that angry. There were short spurts of anger here and there, but never that intense. He rubbed his jaw. Her fighting skills had certainly improved. What had happened to her mother had changed her.

They spent the rest of the night talking and laughing. She was glad that she had someone to talk to who knew her better than Jack.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Samuel Barnett walked up the street, looking for his first mate. He asked some of crew and they had said that he had gotten in a fight and left with his opponent. That was very suspicious. They had pointed him in the general direction that the pair had headed.

It wasn't like Jonathan to slip away from the crowd. That's why he had decided to keep the boy when they had attacked his ship. He would follow orders. It just happened that he had taken a liking to the boy. He was the son he never had, or didn't know he had.

He heard Jonathan's voice coming from an alleyway, along with one other. He found him sitting on a barrel across from a girl, a year or two younger, at the end.

"Well hello." The girl gasped and whipped a hat onto her head. He looked at her with a raised eyebrow. Jonathan stood.

"Um, Captain, this is…" He looked back at the girl, who nodded. "Kate Turner. She's an old friend of mine." This only piqued his interest.

"Well. We're setting sail in an hour. I need you back at the ship. Very nice to meet you, Miss Turner." He said, never taking his eyes off of her. He turned on his heel and left.

Kate shuddered. That man gave her the creeps. She tucked her hair back in her bandana, and gave Jonathan a quick hug.

"Hope I'll see you again Jonathan. Bye." She ran off, leaving him behind in the alley. That was just like her. She never liked goodbyes, and had always made them as short as possible.

"Bye." He muttered as she left. He headed back to the ship with the other crew members, all very confused by what had happened. Jonathan didn't really want to explain it to them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later that night after they had set sail, Captain Barnett called him to his quarters.

"So, tell me about that girl, Kate, I think you said her name was."

"Just an old friend of mine from Port Royal." He sat waiting to hear more.

"She ran away from home a few weeks ago."

"Oh really?"

"Yes. She's on the Black Pearl." The Black Pearl. He had heard of its captain, one Jack Sparrow. There were many stories of his adventures. They had met briefly at one point.

"You wouldn't know where they are going, do you?"

"No…"

"Hmm. You can go." Jonathan got up and left. Why would he want to know about her? Something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

There we go. chapter nine. i didn't really like that one. Oh Well.

So yeah, last chapter's quote was from Ever After. I love that movie.

Once again, this quote (or dialouge) is from a movie.

"He didn't fall? INCONCEIVABLE!"

"You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means."

Okay. R+R! - Chicaga
